Description
The Art of Blending
60% of Chardonnay, primarily from the Côte des Blancs Grands crus and Premiers Crus (Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, Cramant, Vertus…)
40% of Pinot Noir from La Montagne de Reims, mainly from Verzy, Verzenay, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Aÿ, Mareuil sur Aÿ…
Reserve wines are used for up to 40% of the blend, an exceptional mark of quality and regularity over time.
The Art of Tasting
Appearance
The wine’s brilliance and clarity show pale golden highlights, combined with very fine bubbles that carry an abundant, persistent foam.
Aroma
This exceptionally fine cuvée exudes aromas of pear and nuts (almonds, fresh hazelnuts) that marry with hints of white flowers and faint toasty notes.
Palate
A strong, assertive opening that leads into a well-rounded wine that is powerful yet contained; the sign of long ageing in traditional cellars.
